When the inappropriate behavior was re-addressed by other citizens at the following public meeting, councilors doubled down; “Don’t vote for me if you don’t like it!”
This comes as part of wider pushback from the town of Londonderry against citizens who question the lack of transparency coming out of Town Hall, the failed reorganization of several land use positions, and increasing disrespect towards members who challenge the public narrative.
The town manager is writing letters to newspapers accusing citizens of causing chaos, the town council chairman hides behind his private email, and the town skirts 91A at every possible opportunity, claiming every exemption they can grab a hold of instead of favoring disclosure in the spirit of the law.
Just what IS going on in Londonderry?
